Alex Wickham claimed the bloc could collapse as a result of the pair”s unwillingness to cooperate with other member states, in addition to Britain following its decision to leave the European Union.

The Guido Fawkes news editor also accused the German Chancellor and the President of the European Council of sabotaging EU citizens currently living in the UK by refusing to negotiate with Theresa May to secure their rights.

Speaking to talkRADIO, Wickham defended Mrs May, who has been criticised for not revealing whether or not EU citizens will be allowed to remain in the UK post-Brexit.

However, it has since emerged the PM has been trying to reach an agreement behind the scenes, only to be blocked by the europhile leaders.

Wickham said: “[Theresa May“s] taken a bit of a kicking over this over the last few months.

“Now, it turns out that she’s been trying to negotiate this behind the scenes.

“Now it’s emerged she wasn’t the one blocking it, it was Angela Merkel and Donald Tusk all along.

“This story is a microcosm for the whole negotiations. It’s very useful for them to do a bit of sabre-rattling, even if the consequence of this is the uncertainty of EU citizens in the UK.”

The journalist added the EU’s behaviour against both the UK and other EU members was enough to ponder if the end of the bloc was drawing near, as the rise of the underdogs was sweeping across the west.

Wickham continued: “It makes you wonder if they’ll be an EU left by the time we get to the negotiations.

“The tide is rising across Europe. At the end of the day, those governments across those countries will have to face up to their own electorate.”

It comes as Nigel Farage hailed Brexit and Donald Trump’s US election success as a political revolution and the interim-Ukip leader has vowed there is more to come.

Proclaiming more is coming, the Brexit-architect said: “I think Brexit is going to be followed quite shortly, now whether it is going to be Denmark with Dexit, or the Netherlands with Nexit, or Sweden with a Swexit, I don’t know.

“I don’t know, but do not underestimate the power of the change that is now taking place across not just the European Union, but actually the whole of the west.
